London based DJ& producer, Hommel, aka Tom North, is a man who knows his way around the club scene on the south coast, having been a resident at the now-closed Junk in Southampton for 3 years. He's clearly using that club experience to great effect on his contribution to the VA - "Beads". This one has absolutely expertly crafted, pitched and chopped breaks, with plenty of beautiful crystalline synths and swamping bass. You'll be glad to hear, that it's probably not the last you'll hear from tom on Noctambulant.

Basic Rhythm - New Style EP - SNKR017

A1 - New Style 
A2 - Too Nuff 
B1 - London Warehouse 
B2 - Ready Again

London based Basic Rhythm (aka East Man) gets straight to the point with his latest, aptly-titled ‘New Style' EP.

This one is aimed straight at the dance floor, with grounded rhythms, melodic teases, and low end you know is gonna make the bass-bins wobble. Offset by a stab-loaded dancehall beat and a merciless 140 club killer on the A-side, the flip reels off low slung frequencies so solid you could cut them with a knife. One for the sweaty club basements and the warehouse raves alike!

PREMIERE: CM-4 - Hover! [Three Point Oh]

After 5 years of 'Fortnightly Freebies' columns collating our favourite free downloads, we decided to do things a bit differently for the 100th chapter. Introducing 'Big Material', a 19-track 'name your price' compilation that will donate 100% of profits made to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity supporting some of the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society.

At a time when unfair austerity is increasing inequality and leaving so many behind, we hope to support a community that has given so much to the 'scene' and music we love. Digi-dub abstractions and drifting ambient to kaleidoscopic breaks and newly-coined genre, 'subtle donk', it's a pretty accurate microcosm of the If-Only curation as a whole.

Big Material pulls together music from some of If-Only's favourite artists, with tracks from @apsychicyes, @riveryarra, Material Things (@12th-isle), @priori-ties, @nicholaswilson1982 & @steviewhisper, @benoitb, @maxabysmal, @58daniel, @bogdan-drazic, @whyesss, @twitch, @warzouk, @thomasbakk, @eyemeasure, @rdjm0, @furiousfrank, Moonphase (AKA @cl_lit), @moonbowmusic and @aki-aki.

--------------

Soft and calm, we, like light
fray into gentle chaos.
Big material unfurls
Then turns to collect, reform –
Like breaths, draw in
To new poise and structure;
Solid and slow.
Never still. Glacial.

Think back, before
A piece of things,
Moving alone, once a part –
But when is the fragment
not the whole?
When is the whole not the whole?
The salt which made the chalk
Which made the cliff
Which made the slate -

Hard to see,
Once a part and still, we are,
A piece of something else.

--------------
All profits go to Stonewall Housing, a London-based charity working to ensure lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people live in safer homes, free from fear, where they can celebrate their identity and support each other to achieve their full potential.
